Job Myths

There are many myths when it comes to jobs and which gender is better suited for it. Men and women both face difficulties when trying to find a job in a non-traditional career. Men are thought to be strong and non-nurturing while women are considered weak and not smart enough.

Myth- men who work in nontraditional careers are not masculine

A male should not be judged on his masculinity based on his job

You should consider a job based on you interest, skills, and satisfaction

If you are good at something you shouldn't let it stop you just because it is nontraditional

Men who work in nontraditional careers are opening up the door for future employees

Myth- men are not nurturing enough to work with small children

This myth is leftover from when women stayed home to raise children and men went to work

Nurturing is a matter of personality, not gender

Not everyone is suited to work with small children but gender doesn't play a role in it

Women and men have different personalities and some women aren't nurturing enough to work with small children, it's not just men

If you are passionate about a certain job you shouldn't let a stereotype stop you
